In the afternoon, Chen Xu came back from the county seat with Niu Dashi and Liu Po, and then, as usual, rode a miscellaneous horse to inspect various units in the town, and then did not go to Wang Jian and others, but came to the ink workshop with cowhide glue and a few things, ready to study the production of ink blocks.

Time negligence and it was dark again, Wang Jian and others seemed to be addicted to the tiger yesterday, the sun had not yet set and came to the river beach early, because yesterday had been agreed, so the barbecue ingredients canteen helpers have already been prepared, as usual is a few pots of marinated meat skewers and lotus root yams, when Chen Xu came after washing, Wang Jian and others had already started the barbecue by themselves, brushing oil and shaking seasonings, and it looked like the action had been learned.

"Xu, meet General Wang!" Chen Xu looked at Wang Jian to the end, since he already knew his identity, according to the habits of the Qin Dynasty, there was no longer much need to continue to hide it.

"Sit~" Wang Jian nodded, there was not much expression on his face, his mouth was full of oil while holding a skewer in one hand, and at the same time, a stream of blood came out, and Chen Xu's face twitched.

Has Nima baked this? Not even medium-rare!

"Chen Lidian, please taste my craft!" Bai Zhen stuffed two skewers of barbecue into Chen Xu's hands, with a smile on his face, with a hint of expectation on his face, as if he wanted to get five-star praise!

However, this expression was directly ignored by Chen Xu, and he put the skewers back on the barbecue grill.

The uncooked skewers still want to get praise, there is no door, and the lard is brushed too much, peppercorn powder and mustard are piled up with a thick layer, this bite down, it is estimated that there will be diarrhea in the middle of the night, and the chrysanthemums will be very uncomfortable tomorrow.

In Bai Zhen's embarrassed eyes, Chen Xu picked up a few strings of lotus roots and yam tablets and put them on the barbecue grill, he didn't plan to eat meat today, he ate too much meat with the tiger yesterday, plus he hugged a delicate little lady, he didn't close his eyes almost all night under the stimulation of tiger meat, and he couldn't put out the fire when he touched it, so he held back the fire in his stomach today, and he had to eat some vegetarian dishes today, otherwise he couldn't sleep all night.

The three of them did not speak around the barbecue stand, and the four guards did not participate today, and the atmosphere was rather depressing.

As time slowly passed, the sky was getting darker, and the lotus root and yam were already roasted, and Chen Xu broke the dullness after eating a few skewers.

"The old general is not in Xianyang to live for a long time, why did he come to a poor and remote place like our Qinghe Town?"

"If you have nothing to do and come out to relax, do you have an opinion?" Wang Jian said with a glare.

"Hehe, don't dare!" Chen Xu laughed dryly a few times and continued to fiddle with the barbecue.

"There is no alcohol today, and you can't pretend to be drunk, can the old man's question from yesterday be answered today?" Wang Jian dropped the bamboo stick, wiped his mouth clean with his sleeve, and asked.

"The old general is asking Yu Blind, yesterday Xu thought hard all night, and never thought of a good answer, not to mention that the old general is the best at marching and fighting, ten years to sweep the six countries, making the world frightened, why do you want to ask me this mountain village wild man?" Chen Xu replied with a bitter face.

"Hmph, I didn't see it after thinking about it, I only heard the wolf howl in the middle of the night!" Wang Jian snorted disdainfully.

Chen Xu's face turned dark in an instant, Nima wanted to be shameless, he actually came to listen to Lao Tzu's corner in the middle of the night, and fortunately Shui Qingrou was not here today, otherwise I don't know what it looks like to be ashamed!

Looking at Chen Xu's expression, Bai Zhen held back a smile and ate barbecue, obviously this product also came last night.

After a moment of embarrassment, Chen Xu said calmly while eating barbecue: "The old general really wants to hear it?" ”

"Do you think the old man is really bored and runs to this poor country to relax?" Wang Jian frowned and said.

"If I make a mistake, will I be beheaded?" Chen Xu continued to ask.

"It's not up to me to kill the head or not, you can answer it at your discretion!" Wang Jian didn't accept the invitation at all.

Okay, what else can you do if you're so unreasonable?

Chen Xu slowly put down the skewers in his hand, and after thinking about it for a long time, his face became extremely serious and said: "Conquering Lingnan, I have three strategies, I don't know which one the old general wants to hear?" ”

"And three more strategies?" Not only was Wang Jian stunned, but Bai Zhen, who was eating barbecue, also stopped, his face full of surprise.

"Yes, the upper, middle and lower strategies can all complete the battle to conquer Lingnan, but the cost and time are different."

"Haha, okay, the old man will listen to your three strategies, if the old man is satisfied, he will personally meet His Majesty and recommend you as a military officer of the Taiwei Mansion, and he will be knighted in the first place!" After a short silence, Wang Jian looked up to the sky and laughed excitedly.

Chen Xu's face instantly darkened, since he said that he wanted to fight with the army, then forget it, Lao Tzu, with thin arms and thin legs, can't even run a donkey, and when he encounters the mountain natives in the mountains and dense forests of Guangxi and Fujian, he won't burp soon.

"Why, you don't want to become a martial artist? Since you said that the three strategies can pacify Lingnan, this is a low-hanging fruit, and the merit of opening up the territory is enough for you to wait for the general! Wang Jian said with a constipated expression staring at Chen Xu.

"General, it's not that I don't want to join the martial arts, you look at my body, I can't lift the big sword, how can I fight with the army, this credit is still given to the soldiers of Daqin!" Chen Xu said righteously.

"Hmph, yesterday's song of loyalty to the country, the old man thought you were a loyal and brave man, but I didn't expect to be so timid as a mouse, I am a big Qin man, I should raise a sword and leap on a horse, cut off the heads of millions of Nanban, and the horse leather shroud in the bloody battlefield is the style of a man, so shrinking back makes the old man spurn!"

Wang Jian saw Chen Xu's timid nature at a glance, and expressed his deep contempt in words, completely leaving behind Qin Shihuang's earnest warning not to collide with the immortal disciples when he left Xianyang, originally thought that Chen Xu, a disciple of the immortal family, must be personable and elegant, but who knew that after two days of contact, this guy who was confirmed as a disciple of the immortal family was not only not personable at all, although there were indeed countless whimsical ideas, and it was indeed different, but no matter how you look at it, he is a wild man in a mountain village, dressed casually,Loose behavior,Don't do your job all day long,It seems that you've been studying good food and drink all day long.,The most hateful thing is that he doesn't look like a man at all.,It's okay to take the little lady's hand and wander around the town.,And the whole night with the little lady around to do lewd things.,Last night I listened to the corner of the wall for half the night.,Someone hummed comfortably for most of the night.,Itching the teeth of an old man for half the night.,So on the whole,This immortal disciple is a disciple who was driven down the mountain by the immortal family.,It's a complete disgrace to the Chinese immortals.。

But someone didn't think it was wrong, and said with a calm face: "Serving the country with loyalty is not to raise a sword and a prancing horse to sweep away the four razors, nor to be knighted and worship the glory of the ancestors, there are thousands of opportunities hidden in Xu's chest, and there are hundreds of strategies to serve the country. Is improving the ordnance to make the Great Qin soldiers like tigers serve the country? Is the development of good medicine to save lives and help the injured count as serving the country? Does it mean to serve the country if the people have enough food and clothing, and the treasury is abundant? If you have the opportunity to set foot in the court, if what Xu Yiyi has learned can be displayed, he can finally make Siyi surrender to congratulate, then is it considered to be loyal to the country? ”

Chen Xu's words seemed to be loud.

"Bang~" The skewer in Bai Zhen's hand fell to the ground, and his face was full of sluggishness.

And Wang Jian was also stunned for a long time, his snow-white beard and eyebrows continued to shake gently, and he nodded after a while: "Yes, this is indeed loyal to the country, but after all, it is not brave and domineering enough, no matter what, this matter will be talked about later, since you want to set foot in the court to show your ambitions, the old man will not stop you, today I will talk about your three strategies for conquering Lingnan!" ”

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this old killer didn't get him to be a soldier, everything else was easy to say.

"Let's talk about the best policy first, now Daqin has just pacified the Six Kingdoms, although the world is unified, but the land of the original Six Kingdoms is not peaceful, and the six kings and nobles who remain in the people are not reconciled, they are all ready to try to restore the foundation of the Six Kingdoms, old general, I am not wrong!"

"Yes!" Wang Jian nodded solemnly, although he was slightly surprised by Chen Xu's words, but he also felt that it was in line with his identity as a disciple of the Immortal Family, if a disciple of the Immortal Family couldn't even see the general trend of the world at this point, he would also be blind to this identity that His Majesty should be cautious and cautious.

"Because it is necessary to prevent the restoration of the forces of the Six Nations, a large number of soldiers have been stationed in the original Six Nations region just in case, and the number of these soldiers is huge, and the amount of food, grass, ordnance and other supplies consumed is also very huge, which is a huge burden. In addition, hundreds of thousands of civil servants are now being built on a large scale across the country, and hundreds of thousands of civil servants are not only unable to participate in farming, but also have to consume a lot of food, and they also have to build countless tools for road construction and logging, which is a huge burden. Also, 200,000 soldiers guarded the border of the Great Wall in the north to defend the Xiongnu, and at the same time supervised the construction of the Great Wall by millions of soldiers in the six countries, and the daily consumption of these soldiers and soldiers was like a bottomless pit, and the food and equipment were constantly filled with dissatisfaction, I won't say anything else, just these three places, although I Daqin claims to have a population of 20 million, but I have to support nearly three million soldiers and soldiers who are not engaged in production, and this burden is all pressed on the farmers who are not hungry and clothed, which is like a person stepping on a rotten bridge. And there are countless fierce beasts under the bridge, and if a corrupt bridge is accidentally broken, the consequences can be imagined......"

"You're right, now Daqin, with external worries and internal difficulties, is indeed burdened by Shen Ke, but what is the best policy you are talking about, is there a solution?" Wang Qian's expression became more and more solemn.

"The old general has been in my Qinghe Town for three days, and he must have seen many differences carefully, which one surprised you the most?" Chen Xu did not answer, but asked a question.

"The most astonishing and peculiar ......," Wang Jian groaned, pulling his beard.

"Could it be the blank drawing machine in the pottery workshop?" Bai Zhen, who had been silent beside him, suddenly said.

"Definitely!" Without waiting for Chen Xu to speak, Wang Jian shook his head and denied, "Although the blank drawing machine is novel, it has nothing to do with the people's livelihood and the life and death of the people. ”

"Not bad!" Chen Xu nodded, "Quyuan plough can plough the soil, and the horizontal rake can weed and level, these two things can make the soil soft, and the grain planted can grow better and get more output, plus the fertilizer hoarding measures, under this intensive farming method, the grain obtained by one acre of land will be at least three times or even five or six times more than the simple slash-and-burn cultivation before, even if Daqin will not reclaim more grain fields in the future, after a few years of cultivation, my Daqin's grain will be piled up, and there will be no more trouble with the dilemma of insufficient food. As long as the food is sufficient, the people will naturally live in peace, and my Great Qin soldiers will be strong, and then I will conquer the land of Lingnan Baiyue, even if the time and place are not in me, but Daqin has the power to monopolize the people, even if it is dragged, it can drag those barbarians in Baiyue to death......" Chen Xu looked at Wang Qian, "Old general, this is my best policy!" ”

Wang Jian was silent for a long time after listening, nodded and then sighed and shook his head: "The saying that the people take food as the sky is not bad at all, and the best policy you said is also the same as the old man's opinion. Raise it with virtue, then the people will cooperate. Harmony can be harmonious, harmony can be compiled, harmonic can be known, and Mo can hurt. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate and raise the people first to accumulate strength, so as to gain the support of all the people, but unfortunately Your Majesty can't wait, let's talk about your middle strategy! ”

"The middle strategy is to change the target of attack, the current Great Qin has two major external troubles, one of which is the southern barbarian Baiyue, and the other is the northern Hu Barbarian Xiongnu, but compared to the Yue people, the Xiongnu harm to China is even greater, and the horses are tall and strong, fierce and brutal, except for the big river block, there is almost no barrier and buffer with my Central Plains, and in winter it will go south to rob the people of my Great Qin, and now the Xiongnu have been grazing in the rich land of Henan for many years, all rely on the Great Wall to block, must gather a large number of troops to guard, Waste of huge manpower and material resources, therefore, if Your Majesty wants to conquer Baiyue, I think it is better to pioneer the Huns, as the saying goes: the Yellow River is harmful, only rich one, this Hetao is now occupied by the Xiongnu in Henan, the Great Qin soldiers out of Longxi, Yiqu and Shangjun to recover the Hetao area, not only will get hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses, but also will get a vast and rich land of horses, and after the Huns are expelled from Henan, the west to Longxi and east to Yanmen will be able to defend according to the river, and at the same time move the six countries to the border of millions of soldiers to reclaim the barren tuntian, After the north is stable, and then slowly map the south Baiyue, there will be no worries, after pacifying the south, the northern horse farm will also get a large number of good horses, and then wave the army across the river to defeat the Xiongnu, you can collect all the land in the northwest, and I will have dozens of counties and counties in Daqin......"

With Chen Xu's careful analysis, Wang Qian's face moved, and a pair of eyes were also shining, and after Chen Xu finished speaking, he couldn't help but high-five and shouted: "This strategy is particularly wonderful, it should be the best policy, Your Majesty is now worried, only the Xiongnu and Baiyue Er, plus the Spring and Autumn Period, have long intended to bring these two places into the jurisdiction of Daqin, Baiyue land has many mountains and few water networks, it is not suitable for large-scale reclamation and planting, plus my Daqin family lives in the northwest, and the generals are not suitable for the hot and humid climate in the south, if you first chase the Xiongnu to collect the land of Henan, Not only can you get a large number of cattle and horses to supplement, but also at the same time to implement the method of deep planting, and after two or three years, wait for the grain and horses to be sufficient and then conquer Baiyue, when there is a double effect with half the effort, not bad, Chen Lidian woke up the old man, and recovered these two places, first north and then south, is the best policy! ”

Hehe, Chen Xu couldn't help but show a smile on his face, in order to figure out the current situation and general trend in China, he has been doing these tasks, plus Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou, two senior intellectuals who know Daqin well, he has also roughly touched the basic situation of Daqin in the past two months, plus while holding the water and gently touching and pinching it last night, in order to divert his attention and not be able to help but go off the rails in advance, he asked a lot of information he needed while enjoying it. Today, after another day of careful consideration, I finally have the answer to Wang Qian's question almost ready.

Regardless of these answers, Wang Jian or Qin Shi Huang was not satisfied, at least he didn't talk nonsense, otherwise he would be caught by Wang Jian with mistakes and handles, and he, a disciple of the immortal family who was rumored in the outside world, would probably be exposed soon.

What's more, there are two thousand years of history accumulated in the later generations, the importance of the Yellow River Hetao area is undoubted for China, if you want the Central Plains to be safe, the Hetao area must be grabbed first, during the period of the Han Wu Emperor, Wei Qinghuo went to the disease of the two generals to completely defeat the Xiongnu, Feng Wolf Juxu occupied the Western Regions into the imperial territory, the biggest help is to occupy the Hetao to obtain a huge and fertile horse grazing ground, after years of preparation before a blow to success, under the heavy blow, the powerful Xiongnu directly fell apart into several tribes, One surrendered to the Great Han, the other fled to Europe to plague the Roman Empire, and the Xiongnu Empire completely disappeared and never made waves again, the result was that the northwestern lands were stable for hundreds of years, until the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin periods, the northwest Zhuhu were still scum in the eyes of the Chinese, and any Taishou level from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period could be abused, so it was called a strong man, that is, even if the Han Dynasty collapsed, it was still mighty and invincible, so that foreigners did not dare to set foot in the Central Plains.

"Chen Lidian, what is the next step?" After listening to Chen Xu's two strategies, Wang Jian completely put away any contempt.

Although Chen Xu looks young, these two strategies are indeed the best strategies, the best strategies coincide with his ideas, and even because of the production of the Quyuan plow, I am afraid that the final result is much better than his, maybe you don't have to wait for three or five years, only two years can get a large amount of food to solve the current predicament of Daqin, but the middle strategy has given him greater inspiration, it is a problem that he almost completely ignores, as a brave general, there is no problem with letting him command a war to destroy the country, But the strategic vision is not high, the ancient generals are to listen to the emperor's orders, let you hit wherever you want, the direction of the emperor's finger, is the direction of the generals and soldiers to attack, as for the strategy, that is the emperor's consideration, but at the moment, the black and thin boy in front of him, directly from the strategic point of view affirmed that the policy of first the north and then the south is much better than the strategy of directly conquering Lingnan, and Wang Jian also deeply understands this, Baiyue now no matter how tossed, can not threaten the safety of Daqin, But the Xiongnu are like a big sword hanging above the head of Daqin all the time, and it may fall at any time, otherwise the Yan, Zhao and Qin Kingdoms in the northwest will not build the Great Wall for hundreds of years, and then after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, they will continue to repair, and build a miracle of the earth in later generations, which stretches for thousands of miles but has almost become a useless ornament, and has become a place for later generations to collect tickets for sightseeing, and it is also called the Great Wall is not a hero, as a result, Chen Xu was also seduced to go on a trip, and then blocked for several hours to see tens of thousands of heads, I didn't even touch the wall tiles of the Great Wall and went home, and I was pulled down by the Ming Tombs and turned around to buy a jade bracelet of 2,000 yuan for my girlfriend, but when I went back, my friend identified it as A goods.

Mmp, it's too cheating, not only the ticket cheating, but also the tour guide, Chen Xu thought of that trip at this time, and his face became a little dark.

"The next strategy is naturally to listen to the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor, and the troops go out of Wuling, according to the old general, it is to wash the body of the horse leather on the bloody battlefield, fill it with human lives, wash the ground with blood, as long as the lives of the Great Qin soldiers are not spared, after three or five years, they can still conquer Baiyue." Chen Xu sighed slightly and said.

"Are you so optimistic about the timing of the conquest of Lingnan and the bravery of the Great Qin soldiers at this time?" Wang Jian asked, pulling his beard.

"Could it be that the old general is optimistic? Think it's going to be smooth sailing? Chen Xu asked rhetorically.

"Alas~" Wang Jian also sighed and shook his head, "At this time, the conquest of Baiyue, the right time, place and people are not in me, this is a taboo in the art of war, no matter what, you are very satisfied with the old man of the upper middle and lower three strategies, and I will leave Qinghe Town in two days, and the two subordinates will stay in Qinghe Town to recuperate and help me take care of my life, he went to Xianyang to go to the old man's house to recognize the door, and there are a few juniors in my family who are similar to you and can be close to each other!" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Xu will definitely go to the Tongwu Marquis Mansion to visit the old general and General Wang Ben!" Chen Xu bowed uprightly.
